Maternity Clothes

Monday, May 12, 2014
So I'm back in the states again for a several weeks! I was really hoping that by now my morning sickness would have gone away but no such luck. I still feel nauseous several times a day but mostly at night. At least if I get enough sleep and don't try to do too much during the day I am still functional.

The flight over was not as bad as it could have been. I just took a commercial flight instead of trying to Space-A but the last leg was delayed several hours so the whole trip took 29 hours. At least I was super lucky that my longest flight (12 hours) wasn't full so I stole a middle row of seats and got to sleep across all three. The only time I got sick was each time we went into land. That took some serious breathing exercises.

One of my main goals when I came back was to get some maternity clothes.

My options in Okinawa are whatever is available at the BX or Japanese clothes. The BX just looks like they took the Jr section and made more room in the front and all the Japanese wear are oversized smocks and dresses. Not really my style. 

So far I have found most of what I needed at Kohl's and Ross. Today I just needed to find a good pair of jeans so mom and me checked out motherhood maternity. 

My favorite part is that they have fake bumps to try on!! Haha! So I had fun trying on my new jeans with it!
So funny right!! Mom said that's probably what I'll look like at 8 months.  By the way, my top is not maternity so that's why it looks a little funny. 

Ps. I have always heard that maternity pants (that have the full stomach panel) are super comfy. I was skeptical until I tried them!! Why doesn't everyone wear pants like these ALL THE TIME?!

Truth about the maternity jeans. I didn't get what the big deal was until I tried them on :-)
Oh, and still wearing them sometimes now....

You look great Anna! And I also love those super stretchy full belly pants, they really are the best! Still wearing one pair of capris in that style. Thanks for all the updates, I love reading and catching up with you guys a bit!
